and tinted the beautiful bright hUed future
which was fontly pictured at TIE beginning
of 1856 medley of crime, accidents fires,
famine, floods and death. Good bye, old
year. you have stood by us noby in pros
perty and adversity, good bye.
A Happy New Yeari rings out in merry
greeting to-day; the old year has died, has
Joined tho great majority which rolls in
until the end of time, and the blasted am
bition, shattered hopes are but memory
We all start out the New Year with
better and firmer resolves as to the course
to be pursued during the year that has just
been born. 1t is our wish that the weak
may be able to buffet safely the waves OF
adversely which roll and will continue tc
roll until time shall be no more, and that
the strong may emerge from the breakers
encountered on life's seas nobler, stronger
and better prepared than ever to encountei
and surmount the vicissitudes of life. W.
wish ali HAPPY NEW YEAR. Young ant
old rich and poor alike, have the bes
wishes of the CARBON ADVOCATE for ;
successful realization of their fondest hope
during the coming New Year.

We have been asked a number of times
during The past week as to whether the
much talked of steam heating Industry
would locate here or not We haYe hopes
that it will. I'VE are led 10 believe tEno If
the school directors follow in the footsteps
of our borough ia theirs and exOnerate from
the payment Of taxes for p limited time The
works of the industry, that in short time
work will be commenced on the buildings,
which are to be located on the fats cppos-
ite the l.. V. r. r. Tt has been reliably
stated that The new enterprise viii employ
eighteen to twenty men, which number Is
likely to be very considerably increased il
the course of a few Yeas. This,sof course,
will greatly benefit the town,ou merchants
especially, and as a result should receive
their hearty endorsement, Encourage in

1t is q fayorila theory, largely advocated
and firmly believed IN by many, that we
are much more enlightened Than our an

declared to be a fact, before we accept it
We say, prove it. Yet ! know men who

HENRY w. GRADY, of the Atlanta, (Ga. J
Constitution, in recent address said: "TEe
South to-day is as loyal to the Union as the
North, and just as glad that slavery is
abolished and cannot be restored If the
prejudice of war can die out of the hearts
of.the conquered certainly it should die out
oftthe hearts of the conquerors, as it un-
doubtedly has out of the hearts of the men
in blue who did the real fighting against
those in gray" This should be gentle
reminder to those who glory in waving the
"bloody Shirt" that we are nearing new
era in our history, and that the old ''Masor
and Dixson line" is a thing of the past
We are glad to see that old prejudices and
antagonisms which have long rankled in
the hearts of many are beginning to "fadt
away and die"

convicted McQuade the rascally Alderman.
| confess that had lost confidence in my
kind till heard that verdict, but since
feel better and am willing to confess that
the world is much better than / gave it
credit for Twelve honest men there are
enough of them to save two or three
SOdOms. And speaking of these honest
men, look at the terrible temptations that
surrounded them. First, there was the
combined wealth of the ring, which is
threatened with destruction; there were
! millions in il; single vote was worth a
fortune; S4C0,OO would have been freely
given by the indicted Aldermen and their
friends. Then every man who assisted in
the conviction might for the rest of his
natural life expect the bitter enmity and
active persecution of the great army of
thugs who we're the personal body guard of
the Doodle Aldermen. Each one of them
may expect, if he wanders abroad at night,
| to be brought down with sand-bag or knock
ed in the head with a slung-shot For the
| fearless manner in which these twelve
honest men performed their duty they de-
serve the honor and gratitude of their fell
lew-cOuntrymen. When twelve men can
be taken from the ranks of the common
people, and Notwithstanding the tremend-
Gus temptation brought to bear upon them,
perform their duty so nobly, humanity is
! glorified. We feel thai We stand once more
upon solid ground and that honesty is
something more than name. Since the
conviction of McQuade the perjurers and
bribers do not feel half so comfortable rs
they did. 1t now looks as though we might
have a legalquolum Of the Board inside the
States Prison in the next ninety days.
From an these sad and bitter thoughts,
mingled with all that is evil and terrible in
llfe-from the miseT with his millions who
